Bipartisan legislation introduced by U.S. Congresswoman Valerie Foushee (D-NC) and U.S. Congressman Mike Flood (R-NE) would modify F-1 student visas and allow international student-athletes to enter into NIL endorsement contracts. Flood: “International students already can pursue part-time employment during college. This legislation seeks to ensure that international collegiate athletes also have the opportunity to receive compensation in name, image and likeness promotions.” Immigration attorneys Amy Maldonado and Ksenia Maiorova, who work with international student-athletes on obtaining different visas in order to capitalize on their NIL is encouraged by the bipartisanship, but say: “Based on our own experience with DHS and USCIS, the bill is very open-ended, and the failure to define NIL in the bill creates the opportunity for DHS to promulgate regulations that may ultimately be inconsistent with the NCAA definition and industry practices. We would also prefer the language of the bills state that employment is authorized incident to status to prevent severe agency delays in processing Employment Authorization Documents from affecting international student athletes.” (link)

The U.S. Department of Justice is preparing to file an antitrust lawsuit against Live Nation as soon as next month, according to the Wall Street Journal’s Dave Michaels and Anne Steele, who note the “specific claims the department would allege couldn’t be learned.” They also point out that the new DOJ lawsuit could “unravel a settlement agreement that Live Nation reached with the department in 2010 over the Ticketmaster merger. The settlement conditions were supposed to expire after a decade. But in 2019, antitrust enforcers got the deal extended through 2025 after finding that Live Nation violated the original pact by bullying venues into using its Ticketmaster subsidiary.” (link)
